Frequently Asked Questions

Do succulents need pots with drainage? 

While succulents need less water than other types of plants, it’s still important to choose a planter with a drainage hole. This will allow excess water to flow through the planter and help the roots grow.

When should succulents be repotted?

As succulents grow, they will need larger pots. Typically, they need to be repotted every two years to give them extra space and to refresh the soil; however, this depends on the size of the pot that the succulent is currently planted in.
